Goaltender Brandon Perrone, 1998, began his Junior Hockey career in the 2014-15 season with the Long Island Royals. Transferring to the Texas Jr Brahmas for the 2015-16 season, Perrone went 19-4-2 through 25 games between the pipes, including 6 shutouts. Perrone earned a brief call up to the Lone Star Brahmas and finished the season with a 1.73gaa and a .916 save percent. Perrone's 1.73gaa earned him a top 15 ranking in 2015-16 and landed him in the #78 spot in the Tier 3 Record Books.

A New York State native, Perrone returned to the Long Island Royals for the 2016-17 season, quickly earning a Tier 2 call up to the New Jersey Titans. The 5'10 160lb goalie joined the Titans in October and registered his first Tier 2 Junior Hockey win on November 5, 2016 in his first complete game in net.

Perrone currently holds a 10-6-0 record with the Titans, who secured their spot in the 2017 Robertson Cup playoffs. Perrone earned his first shutout last night, turning away 28 shots in victory over the Northeast Generals. With a 2.66gaa and .907 save percent, Perrone ranks top 25 statistically among all Goaltenders (600 min minimum) to play at the Tier 2 level this season.
